<h1>Expressions View [PHP Debug Perspective]
</h1>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Expressions view will not open by default when a debugging session
is launched, but only when you have selected to watch a variable or create
a watch expression.</p>
<p>To watch a variable, right-click a variable in the editor or from the
variables view and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><b>Watch</b></span>
or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><b>Add Watch Expression</b></span>. The Expressions
view will open and the variable will be added to it. The variable's information
will be updated as the debugging process continues.</p>
<p class="Note">Note:</p>
<p class="NoteText">To manually open the Expressions view, go to <span
style="font-weight: bold;"><b>Window | Show View | Debug | Expressions</b></span>.</p>
<p>The Expressions view allows you to monitor certain variables which you
have decided to 'watch' during the debugging process. Selecting a variable
will display details in the detail pane below the view. Expanding the
list under a variable will display its fields.</p>
